Kingdom quartet return to training

Kerry coach Jack O’Connor has been boosted by the return to training of Donnchadh Walsh, Bryan Sheehan, Peter Crowley and Marc Ó Sé.

Kerry have been missing Walsh’s work rate this year and he missed the National League with an ongoing hip/groin problem. Indeed the half-forward will return to hospital in Dublin today to get to root of his injury nightmare.

Walsh lined out for Kerry last Saturday when the Kingdom easily defeated Sligo in a challenge game and while he is unlikely to start against Westmeath in the qualifier, he may play some part on Sunday week in Mullingar.
